A PSA 10 currently sells for about £40.39, raw the card sits at £13.90 — 2,9× as much. Of 3.388 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.81 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 86 auctions the median was £12.75, across 252 fixed-price sales £16.45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £12.16 and £17.00, with a median of £14.72. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around £9.77. Offers well below £5.86 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: German £19.92 (30), Italian £16.90 (19), English £13.89 (329). German fetches about 43 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
